It should be where the top hose goes to the thermostat.. its small with two wires coming out of it.make a hook and pull lightly upward to take off the harness....

The 88 88 code indicates a modem communication error in the refrigerator. This error is not applicable in the U.S. It should be ignored. The control will conduct a self diagnostic check when it is powered up. When this code is encountered it will just need to be cleared and the refrigerator will resume normal operation. To clear the code, press and hold the POWER FREEZE and POWER COOL buttons simultaneously. NOTE: Be sure to press these two buttons at EXACTLY the same time -- no sound will be heard when the buttons are both pressed properly). HOLD the buttons down for about 8 to 12 deliberate seconds until the control beeps and goes blank. Leave the control in this diagnostic test mode and allow it to exit after it times out in that mode. This will take several minutes. When the test mode clears the fault code 88 88 and returns to normal operation, you should be able to set the controls on the unit and it will work normally.

Check outlet with circuit analyzer.

To review:
Replace AA battery if this model has a battery carriage. Otherwise timer has internal rechargeable battery.
Press reset button with paper clip for a few seconds.
88:88-88 will flash on screen momentarily, and then 12:00 am will display. Timer is ready for programming.
If 88:88-88 does not roll over into the 12:00 am display, try resetting again.
If timer will not hold new programming, and keeps resetting, then see if reset button is stuck.
If timer does not reset and re-program correctly, then timer has gone bad.

timer : auto -off press the temp/time button untill timer icon blinks. the hour display will apear. the auto off icon will also appear.

2. use up and down arrow buttons to set the heater operation time between 1 and 10 hours. this function will activate once the timer icon stops blinking.
3. the heater will automaticly turn off when time runs out.

set temperture first so heater will cycle on and off till shut down time reached

could be a problem with your thermastat ,shut it down for a while all the way then turn it on and see if that helps, only turn your unit up in small increments till you reach the desired temp.

if it heats all the way up just means you will have to stand by and watch as the steam level goes down the waffle becomes more done, and remember to brush with butter or nonstick cooking spray between each waffle to prevent sticking
